Well yes, avoid flying off the balcony if you can! My gig was a bit different, it was held at the old Melbourne Festival Hall, the first time Ringo had been back there since they toured here in 1964, so it was a bit special. Festival hall is basically a rectangle with the stage alongside one of the longer edges and the seating arranged around the other edges, with separate entrances from the outside, it’s quite odd. Everyone had a good view!
I'm like Necko only I'm a bassist ukulele guitar synthesizer kazoo penguin and also everyone. Or is everyone me? Now I'm a confused bassist ukulele guitar synthesizer kazoo penguin everyone who is definitely not @Joe. This has been true for 2016 & 2017 
but I may have to get more specific in the future.

Offline I was at the show last night. Premier night of the tour and only the second show at the new amphitheater in Syracuse
It was fantastic. The best All Starr show I have seen and actually quite a bit better then the previous show I saw with the same band…The songs were much more fleshed out and “jammy” The setlist was similar, but 3 songs not appearing in 2014(the last time I saw them) What Goes On , You’re Sixteen, and Im the Greatestwere included. No surprises, just pleased that the band has gelled enough to “open” up the jams a little and a genuine good time show. These guys really like playing with each other.

I went to the concert last night, and let me just say that it was amazing. They played Boys , Photograph, Yellow Submarine , What Goes On , and a bunch of others by the All Star Band. It was an amazing experience for a first concert (besides getting the car lost in a parking garage, but hey, we can’t always reflect on the negative!)

Still waiting on my guitar to arrive so I’m a bit antsy and have not much else to do besides play Rock Band and get stuff ready for my trip next Sunday. My first-ever trip to Nashville alone. It’s driving me slightly nuts XD

Offline Seeing as the 19th is getting pretty close, I’m debating what exactly I’m able to bring. I have been to an Owl City concert, as well as one of those free admission things (our city hall had the Doobie Brothers last autumn). This will be in an auditorium, so I’m assuming there will be some sort of bag check. I was just going to bring a small backpack that’s going to have my camera, batteries, phone, glasses, gum and maybe a bottle of water. For those who’ve been to any of Ringo’s shows (notably, at the Ryman in Nashville, as he’s been there before), are there certain things not allowed? Just want to make sure I’m following the rules. I think I know what to expect, but then again, this is RINGO……

I’m on the fence. I’d really like to get some good pictures because I’ve dealt with crappy cameras at concerts and conventions for years…
“The camera policy for concerts at the Ryman is set by the event promoter or performer. Please check your ticket to see if the policy is listed. If photography is allowed, you may bring in a digital, disposable or 35mm camera.”
– which means it’s up to Ringo and his team….
“Video cameras, tripods, recording devices and cameras with telephoto or zoom lenses are not permitted inside the Ryman at any time.”
– I’ve got a Canon Powershot SX530HS. Digital is okay, but it’s got a kinda hefty zoom on it (50x), so then it’s NOT okay. Make up your mind, theater people! XD
Thank you for the link, Ahhh Girl ^^ Gotta love those arbitrary rules! I could just bring it – Photos only, no flash of course. Technically it’s allowed but I wonder where they draw the line on zoom lenses. I doubt they’re going to nitpick every camera that goes in.

Offline Currently waiting in line. T-minus 18 min to doors opening. It’s a tad humid. But I’m going to have a great view, and it’s going to be more cozy than I anticipated. It’s going to be awesome!
Update: And the aftermath.
I have been awake for about 27 hours straight, since I got no sleep after getting home due to a painfully upset tummy. I’m going to blame sleep/food deprivation, and the lengthy drive on said lack of sleep, not by choice since I actually tried to eat but did not want to risk getting ill at the concert (that would have sucked). And I couldn’t stay overnight in Nashville because I have work today. Not to mention I got to borrow an extra hour when crossing time zones but had to give it back, grrr. Currently getting my strength back even though I can’t lay down yet (makes it hurt more) so I’m having soup then going to take it slow at work. Regardless – I was honored to share an auditorium with Ringo and his band, they were all right on key, sounding awesome and having a blast. I also got a few nice goodies while I was in Nashville including a tiny crankshaft music box that plays part of Yellow Submarine. ^^ 
I got a fair bunch of photos, here is one. I will see if I can show the rest soon.
Oh, and my guitar should be arriving today. Things turned out rather nicely this weekend overall. ^^

Offline Okay after some sleep, here are the songs I remember them doing. There was another they did and I’m pretty sure Richard Page named it “You Are Mine”. And one or two others I didn’t recognize but it was all fantastic music, of course.
It Don’t Come Easy
Photograph
Hold the Line
Rosanna
Black Magic Woman
You Are Mine
Bang the Drum
Kyrie
Oye Como Va (spell-check please — Thanks Necko!)
I’m the Greatest
Love is the Answer
Broken Wings
Africa
With A Little Help From My Friends /Give Peace A Chance
Random kleenex and hand towels were thrown. Todd was bouncing all over the place, kicking the air, jumping up and down while back to back with Richard Page playing guitars, and Ringo did jumping jacks! Later in the show Ringo came on stage with a towel around his neck which he then tossed into the audience, and a small girl caught it, who then proceeded to have a happy spaz attack for the remainder of the show.
I heard the start of floor-stomping for an encore, but some of the crew was already coming out on stage to disassemble the equipment immediately after so that didn’t last long. ^.^
Great show. Wish I had had more energy to stand but I totally did the double peace sign thing.

She appeared to be having the time of her life. She was trying to hand Ringo a note, she was having someone hold her so she could get closer to the stage. They did hold hands briefly. And she pretty much had the best view in the house. Very lucky girl ^^

I think he spent about as much time in front with the other guys as he did behind the drums, if not more. He totally rocked the Ryman and I was a bit sad when it was over. Warren Ham did on occasion come out of his hidey-hole on stage right which was partly blocked, but still, great view and closer than I thought. This auditorium looks much larger in videos o.O
I may *try* to sneak to Atlanta if he *happens* to add a tour date there, You never know…
